“I’ve been told to say” the nomination process for Vice President Kamala Harris was “a very open process, a very inclusive process,” Gov. Gavin Newsom (D) admitted Friday on a far-left podcast. The so-called “democratic” party did not go through a democratic process. Democrat party leaders coronated Harris, who received zero Democrat primary votes, nullifying about 14 million primary votes cast for President Joe Biden. Harris officially accepted her party’s nomination Thursday.

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi told CNN's Jake Tapper and Dana Bash that "I did what I had to do" when pressed about pushing Joe Biden out of the 2024 race.

CHICAGO — Nancy Pelosi, whose fingerprints are all over the defenestration of President Biden, has expressed deep sadness at the rupture in their relationship. The two go back decades, to a time when a then-young Delaware Sen. Joe Biden was on the rise and Pelosi, a mother of five and devoted Democratic Party volunteer, hosted one of San Francisco’s must-stop political salons. (The kids were pressed into duty as waitstaff.) She now praises Biden as one of the nation’s greatest and most consequential presidents, deserving, even, of a place on Mount Rushmore. But when it comes to campaigns and elections,...

Maureen Dowd, columnist for the New York Times, penned a tongue-in-cheek op-ed knocking the Democrats for all their talk about democracy after their “coup” against President Joe Biden. Published on Saturday, the column from Maureen Dowd highlights how high-level Democrat leaders, from Barack Obama to Nancy Pelosi, worked behind the scenes to push Biden into dropping out, which may generate some bad blood going into the Democratic National Convention (DNC) next week.

The exact circumstances that led to President Joe Biden's dramatic withdrawal from the 2024 election race have been the topic of frenzied conversation for weeks. Ever since Biden tweeted his digitally signed letter announcing the decision on Sunday, June 21, the line from the White House has been clear: The president was not pushed. This was his choice alone. Sympathetic insiders described a weekend of 'reflection' for the president – who had recently tested postive for COVID and was holed up in isolation with his wife Jill and a handful of trusted aides at the Biden family home in Rehoboth...

Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has described the late-night hammer attack on her husband, Paul Pelosi, as "worse" than the assassination attempt against former president Donald Trump last month.

resident Biden admitted he was pushed out of the presidential race by Democratic Party elites and specifically name-dropped former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as one of the perpetrators in his first TV interview since the tectonic news last month. Biden said that Dems in the House and Senate were worried that he’d drag down their chances of being reelected. He said he believed his reelection bid would face too many distractions if he carried on. “A number of my Democratic colleagues in the House and Senate thought that I was going to hurt them in the races. And I was...

Ex-House Speaker Nancy Pelosi has openly doubted whether President Biden wrote the letter he sent to Democrats last month insisting he was “firmly committed” to staying in the race. Biden, 81, sent the missive to congressional Dems to try to put to rest any notion that he’d exit the race over widespread concerns about his mental acuity after his June 27 debate performance against GOP foe Donald Trump. Two weeks later, Biden dropped out. “I didn’t accept the letter as anything but a letter,” Pelosi told New York Times‘ columnist Ezra Klein in an interview last week. “I mean, there...

House Speaker emerita Nancy Pelosi confirmed that she spoke with President Biden and fielded calls from worried Democrats, many of whom were disgruntled about their 2024 election odds, before he quit the race. Pelosi (D-Calif.), one of the most influential Democrats in Congress, in a Monday interview on ABC News’ “Good Morning America” denied that she “was burning up the airways” to push Biden out — right before divulging that she spoke to him after “people called me.” “It was always about him,” the former House speaker claimed. “And why I said I didn’t make calls, because people said I...

A smiling former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi denied reports that she spearheaded the Democratic mutiny that culminated with President Biden dropping out of the race last month. “No, I wasn’t the leader of any pressure [campaign],” Pelosi (D-Calif.), 84, told CBS News. “Let me say things that I didn’t do: I didn’t call one person. I did not call one person. I could always say to him, ‘I never called anybody.’” Pelosi’s behind-the-scenes machinations during the outpour of Democrats calling on Biden, 81, have been widely reported. She has long had a reputation for being a savvy and ruthless political...

If this story is true, and it’s a big what if, then Joe Biden has been deposed in a coup that’s reminiscent of banana republics. The problem is the sourcing: the story appears to be written by Seymour Hersh. Hersh isn’t a fake news peddler, though his stories often rely on anonymous sources, so much cannot be verified. For those who don’t know, Hersh has written for The New Yorker and The New York Times. He won a Pulitzer for his reporting on the Mai Lai Massacre during the Vietnam War. Hersh may have a liberal bias, but he’s not...

3:17 Former House Speaker Nancy Pelosi (D-CA) reportedly gave President Joe Biden an ultimatum: bow out of the presidential race “the easy way or the hard way.” Politico reported Monday, a day after Biden’s announcement that he would step aside as the presumptive 2024 Democrat presidential nominee, that the former Speaker and still top Democrat powerbroker put her foot down after weeks of Biden publicly insisting he would plow forward with his campaign despite major fallout from his disastrous debate performance on June 27. “Nancy made clear that they could do this the easy way or the hard way,” one...

“That debate was a set-up to convince Democrats that he couldn’t run for president,” a source close to the Biden family told The Post Monday. Joe Biden was forced to leave the presidential race after high-level Democrats threatened him with the 25th Amendment. Operatives at the very highest levels of the Democratic Party threatened Joe Biden with forcibly removing him from office unless he stepped down, sources told The Post. The well-orchestrated “palace coup” to stop the faltering president seeking re-election has been in place for weeks, but stubborn Biden fought against it every step of the way, according to...

For now, I’m taking at face value that Biden has withdrawn from the presidential campaign via a tweeted-out letter, with the promise of a live statement to follow. However, a surprising number of people believe that, considering how consequential Biden’s statement is, a tweeted-out letter suggests a coup rather than a voluntary resignation.

More than four dozen former foreign and national security officials for the U.S. government called on Biden in a letter Friday to drop out of the presidential race. "We write as former U.S. officials who have strongly supported your presidency and your initiatives to strengthen U.S. foreign and national security policy," they wrote. "We have welcomed the measures you have taken to promote U.S. alliances in Europe, Asia, and the Americas; to manage relations with great powers; and to address global issues such as climate change. These initiatives have been built on your decades-long record of support for responsible U.S....

Sen. Sherrod Brown of Ohio called on President Joe Biden to end his re-election campaign Friday, becoming the fourth Democrat in the chamber to ask Biden to drop out of the race. Brown, according to his campaign, will not weigh in on the process to choose a new Democratic nominee and believes Biden should serve the rest of his term. Brown’s Trump-endorsed Republican opponent, businessman Bernie Moreno, has been linking him closely to Biden’s struggles for weeks. “Sherrod and Joe have been friends and political allies for many years,” said Moreno in a campaign statement earlier this month, “so does...
